WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

As Rev Judith Grieve has moved on to Westerhope, we have entered a period of interregnum - during this time the overall management of the running of the parish falls to the PCC and Churchwardens, overseen by the Area Dean.  The PCC has produced a parish profile providing an overview of the church and the area for prospective candidates.  The post has now been advertised - this is an open-ended process, so we remain in interregnum until someone applies and is appointed.

Ascension Day - 40 days with the Risen Christ

Forty days after Easter comes Ascension Day.  It may seem crazy to call it Eastertide when Easter is clearly over - but these are the 40 days during which the Risen Christ appeared again and again to his disciples, following his death and resurrection.

The Gospels give us little of Christ's teachings and deeds during those 40 days.  Jesus was seen by numerous disciples; on the road to Emmaus; by the Sea of Galilee; in houses etc.  He strengthened and encouraged his disciples and at last opened their eyes to all that the Scriptures had promised about the Messiah.  Jesus also told them that as the Father had sent him, he was now going to send them - to all corners of the earth, as his witnesses.

Ascension Day - 17 May 2012

We have been invited to join the congregations of Cresswell and Lynemouth at a Eucharist in St Bartholomew's Cresswell at 7.30pm.

A celebration will also be held in Brinkburn Priory at 7.30pm.  Anyone wishing to attend this service should note that it is a 10 minute walk from the car park to the Priory.  There is limited car parking for Blue Badge holders next to the Priory.  It is advisable to wear warm clothing as the Priory is not heated.
